A group of educators at a largely Latino high school in New Jersey, recently caused quite an uproar. They allegedly chose controversial clothing on a school-sanctioned dress-down day. The teachers allegedly wore shirts that read “Gulf of America” to Belleville High School on January 31, 2025. Some think the teacher’s choice of attire was in poor taste. Others believe it’s potentially a political statement in support of President Donald Trump ....

Although it may not be our favorite thing to do, regular gynecologist visits are an essential part of a woman’s health care. No one loves to put their feet in the stirrups, but we do it because it can be life-saving. Sometimes women are self-conscious about visiting the OBGYN, but we trust our providers to be professional. A now-deleted TikTok from a health care facility in California violated that trust and has led to several well-deserved employee terminations....

When we are growing up, we learn so much from our parents. For a lot of people, they serve as the greatest inspiration for things like a good work ethic, family values, and a spiritual life. And for the very lucky, they serve as the gold standard for how we hope to be treated by our partners. Watching our parents love and care for each other unconditionally can be magical....

The pressure on a woman to have a perfect body starts so early. We can become obsessed with having the perkiest breasts , the flattest tummy, and the best booty around. This can become even more of a fixation after a woman has children. Even though it is perfectly normal to have a little sagging here and there and a stretch mark or two (ahem … dozens), some women don’t love it and want things to return to how they once were....

Screen time is a hot topic among parents, and people are passionate about how much is too much. Many parents have very specific parameters for screen time , including how old their children must be before they are allowed to use screens and how long they can be used. Other parents are much more liberal regarding screen time and let their kids do whatever they want . We are moms and know that establishing screen time rules can be hard....

It’s hard when you have a parent who thinks they know your kids better than you do. Sometimes, our parents, especially our moms , forget that we’re adults raising our own kids. It can create a lot of tension between us. They sometimes fail to remember how much things have changed since they raised kids, inflicting their old school beliefs on our little ones. One woman recently had an encounter with her pushy mom , who apparently tried to get her toddler son to speak differently, fearing that his voice didn’t suit him....

As moms, self-care gets tricky. What even is self-care? How can we fit it into everything else we have to do? It seems like everyone has opinions on what self-care is or isn’t. Some say self-care is pampering , think pedicures and bubble baths. Others claim it’s more restful. Self-care is subjective. Especially for moms. Self-care looks different from person to person and mom to mom. And while I enjoy a good pedicure, I think self-care for a mom could be errands alone, cleaning, or even meal prepping ....

Being pregnant is a roller coaster from start to finish. It begins with butterflies, creeps into anxiety, moves to discomfort, and climbs back up into baby belly bliss over the course of those nine months. Whether you are a new mama or a seasoned pro, we can all agree that you need a little extra TLC during those pregnant months. One way to treat yourself during your pregnancy and beyond is to sign yourself up for a monthly subscription that is perfectly catered to your pregnancy needs....

A year after his wife died from eating a poisonous mushroom inside a sushi roll, a Montana man is speaking out. Donna Ventura, 64, became gravely ill after lunch at Dave’s Sushi in Bozeman.

What was meant to be a girls’ trip for a mom and daughter turned into a horrible tragedy that will “haunt” the family forever. On October 22, 2024, Dulcie White, 66, fell overboard during a Taylor Swift-themed cruise with Royal Caribbean. Now, White’s family alleges that although she was showing obvious signs of severe intoxication prior to her death, crew members on the cruise continued to serve her alcoholic beverages....

There’s no arguing that the Kardashians have built an empire, but they didn’t do it alone. They have many other people on their team helping them make it all happen — and apparently, one late-night host is joining it. James Corden acted as the Kardashians’ personal assistant for his show, and let’s just say it didn’t go quite as you might predict. James took on the role on Tuesday night’s episode....

James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, died September 9. He was 93. Jones’ reps confirmed the news to Deadline and to Variety . He died at his home in Dutchess County, New York.

What to Know One of the crowning achievements of Variety , at least in my opinion, is the Variety Studios: Actors on Actors segments. These include actors interviewing each other, and clips often go viral on social media. Like one on TikTok of Jennifer Lawrence interviewing Leonardo DiCaprio . Because of their respective late 2025 movies, they have reason to interview each other, and that’s all well and good....

There’s a reason so many fascinated viewers tuned in to watch Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar raise their oversized brood of children on 19 Kids & Counting for years: Just about everything they did was so different from the way most households functioned. That included grocery shopping — a massive feat that was chronicled on the show on more than one occasion. On this week’s episode of the Jinger & Jeremy podcast, Jinger Duggar looked back at one of her family’s shopping trips that was featured on the Duggars’ 2006 TV special, 16 Children & Moving In , and it’s pretty wild to see it all happen in hindsight....

In the world of celebrity gossip, some things are just traditions. We all know that news about celebrity babies , engagements, marriages , and divorce are always big stories, no matter what time of year they come out. That doesn’t stop celebrities from dropping their divorce news in the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, allegedly in the hopes they’ll get less attention during this slower time of year....

Katy Perry recently celebrated her 41st birthday, and people are calling her out for flaunting her wealth — not because of an extravagant celebration, but because of the way she carelessly wasted an entire birthday cake. In a clip shared on social media, Katy can be seen blowing out the candles on her birthday cake backstage while surrounded by crew members. Her crew members clapped after she blew out the candles, then she proceeded to pick up the cake and try to throw it at someone....

Kids have a way of showing you the truth, whether you want to admit it or not. And when kids began participating in ICE and anti-Trump protests on the multi-platform game Roblox , it showed just how true that is. There have been plenty of TikTok videos that show just that. The kids are either playing as ICE agents, people being arrested, or people who are protesting arrests. And it says a lot about the state of America....
